New Knives for the Week of March 21st, 2024 Just In at KnifeCenter.com

[@addytuney2028]

It just feels better with Thomas around. Hope you had a nice vacation.

[@whoc4r3s117]

Thomas needs a raise. Edits everything B roll names on screen. Without him felt like a hostage film.

[@ASMR-soothingsounds]

"hostage film" 🤣🤣🤣

[@BluestedSRT4]

Scan the table for XL folders, got excited and jumped ahead to the Terzuola, heard the price and jumped back to the CJRB Prado.

[@brianleslie7388]

With you, man. I would feel bad about losing / breaking a blade that had a cost that much. ( not a collector, just a guy that carries, but loves a better than average piece.)

[@Huey4214]

That Bear and sons boning knife in the black and white handle is a real home run!

[@petebec]

You missed the most important details about the Prado. That long, wide blade is only 0.09" in thickness, which also contributes to its overall " thinness" and low weight. That's thinner than a Bugout on a 3.75" blade! Impressive!

[@youcaillou]

This might be a Taggedout killer!

[@OreoDave]

Welcome back Thomas! You were missed. 👍👍

[@happykt]

I love that Reate and its already sold out everywhere (the one DCA showed). The other colors are in stock.

[@JosephOlson-ui2pg]

I liked the one DCA showed, but I nabbed the orange n satin. I was glad there were different ones! I love Deadbolt because it's button lock like and in the pivot, but only the CRKT Exclusive comes in without D2 which I avoid. Nitro V is actually desirable and it's high time I got an orange folder. Good episode this week

[@timtitus2532]

Welcome back, Thomas. Really missed the banter.

[@Bearded_Ham75]

I really like the blade on that CJRB Prado, I hope they come out with a premium version eventually

[@acid6urns]

yes an s90v prado would be awesome, i feel like if it’s popular they may do one

[@The4cp]

The PM2 Salt is amazing. Thanks so much for it getting here so quickly! That CRJB is just the right size and a great price.

[@NZComfort]

Maaaaaaaan… I’m still waiting for the Condor Bushscot! I watch every week hoping to see it sitting on the table! I’m so down for a pre-order. Thank you for our favorite time of the week!!!

[@carlstanland5333]

The copper Reate Pl-xt still shows Preorder on the website.

[@alanlarsen3525]

I just ordered the farmer x in black alox. You should show it off sometime, it needs a video for the store page. THX DCA, welcome back Thomas.

[@FullyAdamatic]

My head is really turning for Bear and Sons... hold a special place in my heart for my first balisong too!

[@peterselby3130]

Nice to have you back.

[@cwsmith17]

Great new knives video, thanks DCA!

[@user-wy1dl2me2p]

The Iona Titanium is beautiful.

[@jerrypomroy2375]

I really like the modern traditionals we’ve been seeing recently. Especially the barlow style. Just can’t bring myself to pay the prices because I don’t baby my knives.

[@JosephOlson-ui2pg]

Totally relatable!

[@megacab]

I really like that reate, the copper version is slick.

[@barrykarpowich731]

Prada really nice super deal😊

[@MrParticular-pu7qh]

Welcome back Thomas you were missed The channel Wasn't the same My eyes were very pleased to be able to see all the knives on the table Hope you had a great vacation.

[@DanielChzBurger7]

To anyone who has no experience with Nicholas Nichols Knives, we’ll worth the money in my experience. I one 3 of his knives, 2 folders, 1 chef knife, all used frequently, and the folders have their quirks but I still love them over many other edc knives I use.

[@connorw1494]

Love you guys!

[@lxixg9]

Do you know when the Buck alpha elite knives will be available and can the handle scales be switched with the select? I want the visibility of the orange with the Magnacut steel

[@rustleshackleford1553]

98.95, I'll finish watching the episode, then I'm ordering that boning knife! Just because I already have four, doesn't mean I need a fifth one any the less.

[@austinbridge]

I would say that the main bullet point of dendritic cobalt is that it literally cannot rust because it does not contain iron...

[@Blackboi-uz7yr]

I’m new to knifes but I’m starting to notice that some companies charge x amount of money for a production knife when it seems like you could get something hand made with better materials for around the same price

[@TheTarman]

There’s a reason Chinese companies are folding most USA ones like they’re freshly-dried laundry these days, and it’s exactly what you described Consumers want quality materials and good QC for the best price possible, and not only are USA companies not offering that in most cases, many are actually deliberately up-charging their products to insane levels while pandering to knife Fudds who think anything stamped with an American Flag is inherently superior. It’s a giant marketing scam to get dim-witted people to accept less for more, and it’s why these USA-made companies are going to start suffering long-term, since they aren’t even attempting to meet the foreign competition in terms of materials and equivalent pricing Hell, some USA companies will use Chinese OEMs and still try to charge prices as though they were fully-made in the USA (*cough* Jack Wolf *cough*), which only further solidifies the desires of most consumers to just ignore country of origin with these blades and just look at testing/reviews

[@JosephOlson-ui2pg]

Precisely the point. You can be a cool kid n have what many want, pay for that and live with it or get something more .... I guess meaningful

[@campuscolt65]

Yes on the handmade no on the better materials generally the small shop style knives are older steel’s that are easier to work. Many of the new super steels require a lot of machining and expensive equipment to manufacture. The custom knife makers who use those kind of steels usually charge multiple times more than the production knives

[@BuckScrotumn]

First affordable OTF I’ve ever seen. Might have to finally get me one.

[@pretentiousname01]

My carry habits drastically changed to Otfs since my first time carrying one. My first was a lightning, so only like 40$. Then I also got a kershaw livewire and axial shift. Check them out

[@FleetOfFog]

If you don't mind Chinese made OTFs, Maxace has the Medusa in Magnacit in stock for $238.

[@campuscolt65]

Cobra tech makes very nice USA made knives Iv never had issues out of mine

[@marcg.3830]

Benchmade shootout or Guardin Tactical recon 35, I mean it’s a question that answers itself! Benchmade is crazy with that price with grivory handles.

[@armenarakelian9876]

Why is the Reate PL XT discontinued on the site? I went to order the copper pvd version and the website says discontinued, but it was never in stock? What’s going on I need it 😭

[@warwicksworkshop9511]

Yay Thomas is back! And yay, that Spyderco is sick.

[@dayontapout]

Welcome back Thomas!!

[@rogerdowell4387]

Eagle Rock 🤤

[@larrylacostjr.2075]

Welcome back, Thomas!

[@lyndonmarquis414]

The Bear & Son pro-chopper is a good looking knife…

[@happykt]

Welcome back Thomas! And I hope someone from KC is cross training with Thomas so you aren't left flat footed with your audio/video when he takes a vacation.

[@ronfry5851]

Ooh ooh Mr Carter Mr Carter welcome back😂

[@scotthumphrey99]

When will the satin paramilitary 2 salt be released?

[@cooperclarke154]

Was hoping to see the other DCA tango blade shapes

[@knifecenter]

soon

[@ronfry5851]

Hopefully they put some of that new PVD coating on the blade so it's totally resilient to everything❤

[@clintwestwood3539]

Kladić does some impressive Serbian style kitchen knives in AEBL at 62hrc. Love Serbian cleavers.

[@Jstarr918]

Welcome back Thomas !

[@satoapendragon1257]

Use the heel of a victorinox 6inch boning knife with a palm strike works great for cutting chicken bones. I'd be tempted to try the meat cleaver range from benchmade as a butcher. But that price with currency conversion just makes it hard to take a punt on it.

[@rhubarbrhino]

Question! Most expensive antique knife you’ve held, not seen, held. What was it worth? Hopefully you have a photo to add for the show!

[@cameronduncan7921]

Benchmade rocks. Seems like they prioritize ambidexterity in their designs. All the companies making crossbar lock knives without reversible clips getting left in the dust by one of the industry leaders.

[@toma1460]

I'm looking for a modern style locking convex knife for $100 or less. Any suggestions or comments? Thanks

[@tmutant]

Welcome back, Thomas! The things they said about you when you were gone...

[@knifecenter]

Can't be any worse than what they say in front of me :) --Thomas

[@Lurifaks707]

Why is the salt pm2 black koated aaah

[@HonestArcher_13]

When do I get my "Magnacut Manix2 "!!!

[@Robert_Thomas832]

Gunslinger Jack 🐺 you've been fleeced as usual. Otherwise fun as normal, nice 🙂

[@MichaelPorterfield]

Always love the new knives of the week!!! I have a question please, I want to purchase a Spyderco knife for under $100. This will be my first purchase of a Spyderco knife. What would you recommend? Thanks in advance.

[@millionairejh]

the bear and sons chopping knife reminds me of the benchmade station knife. it just has that extra angle at the tip that makes it uglier in my opinion. but its only 105 compared to benchamde 400.

[@Woolsocks]

I like the smaller meat crafter, it’ll be a ton more useful for a lot of things, and it steers away from every recent benchmade by being one of the cheapest knives they sell.

[@VDC_EDC]

Welcome back man who shares the same name as myself!

[@lightw8johnny]

DCA with the Professor intro?! Nothing better ever

[@lightw8johnny]

Feel like Thomas should be telling us to bite his shiny metal....

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

What's the purpose of the knife in the thumbnail that looks like a straight razor with a broken blade?

[@Smclaugh08]

will we see a blacked para 3 salt

[@CharlieJulietSierra]

David C Anderson is a killer name for you tube

[@turdferguson2874]

Hurts so abd to find out the thumb nail knife is that much. Dang giod looking knife

[@iamgroot4080]

Thomas is better than all of those knives combined

[@DroogyT]

I think in this case, David, it's "giant mouses"

[@knifecenter]

I think I'm gonna stick with GiantMeese from now on -DCA

[@billvan5219]

Yo! Thomas!

[@Nightwolf866]

Hi Thomas

[@ManOfEthnicity]

I'm surprised the salt PM2 is so reasonably priced, too bad I"m left handed, womp womp.

[@marktheboss6441]

Whenever there's a new release of a magna-cut version of a knife I already own, I feel the resale value of my original models plummeting.

[@JosephOlson-ui2pg]

Good point. Just remember a steel by any other name may be just the same. Blade geometry matters the most, alloy and thermal cycles add alot and you don't always get what you want, but what the production companies want to sell you. Hopefully you get something in the compromises.

[@ronfry5851]

Which means it'll be even less tough because they don't heat treat their magnet cut for pretty much any other steals to its full potential although they are totally awesome they just won't go that extra 3% and give us some good heat treat Dca, say something to them😢

[@michaeltrombino3888]

WTF with some of the Benchmade prices. I loved and still love the first axis lock, but nowadays there is no way I could consider buying another Benchmade knife. They are of excellent quality, but with the choices of knives, today, they are losing alot of customers. Their prices are outrageous! 😢

[@JosephOlson-ui2pg]

They have normal business troubles. Trying to get us to buy and buy into what they want is them depending on marketing which costs so much they can't compete on price or have value for money

[@Twiceborn_by_grace]

Terravantium sounds like a metal that Marvel made up. 🤣

[@porksword4]

That Ti version of the jw gunslinger is awful if you wanna carry it on your pocket it's checkered under the clip mines going back went for the purple like on here an love it soooo much just avoid the Ti one dudes

[@TovarichSputnik]

There's no such thing as a reverse tanto. If it has a belly it's a spey blade; if it's straight it's a coping blade. Prove me wrong! 🤯

[@cameronduncan7921]

Can you imagine if Benchmade made that jack wolf and charged $300. People would lose it in the comments. But Jack Wolf charges $350 for a knife made in China and people don’t care. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@michaeldeiters2723]

hard to get anything good under 200 thats not an import

[@christopherr1711]

No wonder all these Chinese made knives are flying off the shelves 😂

[@Lawyerboyleslie72]

Yep, just like in the South in 1860s.. people like stuff made by slaves.

[@stephenbarabas6286]

​@@Lawyerboyleslie72🙄 yeah.. the same way people like paying for overpriced USA crap so someone can make 75 an hour. Some of us older people know that USA made didn't used to mean rip off prices... Give it a rest

[@davidhelka8929]

Giant mice your better Then that DCA 😆

[@charlesgore8428]

Go ahead and say it's a bug out killer

[@ronfry5851]

Oh ,DCA, please get some work tough gear, nymph nymph, did I say nymph in Love you thank you thank you thank you thank you😂

[@valeriypykhalenko3113]

👍👌

[@binky8501]

Sorry but that's not a $600 knife not close

[@jbeers1234]

Damnit, I was really hoping Thomas was at a hand spa this whole time. 🤢🤮

[@f1nch1312]

Not as think as you drunk i am?

[@Mr-kn6uk]

You tell us all about the prices but you dont tell us all about the price of benchmade. Is this because you know they are ripping people off day in day out?? This happens a lot on your vids when you hit the benchmade crap you never talk about cost. If you do have the benchmade crap on ya table do you think you could bring yourself to tell us all the price in future? I think not!! Buy a Spyderco over benchmade any day. benchmade is a byword for Im guna suck as much $$$s out of are customers as possible!!

[@davidgarrett5671]

He said the price for both of the Benchmades, was there a problem with your audio?

[@jeffhicks8428]

so call "very thin" knife was monstrously overbuilt just like every other edc bro knife in the world. they call cut like shit and cant cut at all without a keen edge because they all have the geometry of an axe.

[@MrMcGlinchey]

am i the only one that thinks spyderco knives are ugly sorry if they are your favourite they are just not for me

[@campuscolt65]

I used to feel the same way but I purchased one and it grew on me and the practicality one me over

[@loosieclocker]

Complaining about American made knife prices? Might want to check your priorities. A well made tool will last. We’re all to comfortable with disposable crap. Support American businesses

[@jeffwhitehead7990]

“well made” and affordable are not mutually exclusive.

[@TheTarman]

Fanboys like you are the exact reason American companies keep trying to pull fast ones on the consumer while still acting high and mighty about their products Nearly every big-name Chinese knife company working with premium materials will match USA-made knives these days, if not surpass their QC and materials, for less money The myth that “USA-made” is some inherent stamp of quality has been long-disproven, and it’s your mindset that allows them to keep making worse products to ensure they’ll fall behind the foreign competition. These companies don’t benefit long-term from people like you. They suffer, because normal people want quality products for affordable prices, not American-flag-stamped crap that costs 300% more than it should just because you’re buying a warranty you wouldn’t need nearly as badly if the products were made as good as fanboys and the companies claim they are

[@stephenbarabas6286]

🙄 yeah... Another one that USA made HAS to mean overpriced Justify it how you want but people don't believe that crap anymore... Funny how "USA made" is mostly USA assembly with foreign parts... Buy all that overpriced crap you can and the rest of us will sit back and laugh at you trying to explain how "it's worth it"

[@stephenbarabas6286]

I guess my comment got deleted by the haters.

[@fengxueshanshenmiao]

First comment

[@ayuanf]

同意

[@theoneandonlysoslappy]

We've seen a few new pivot-type locks recently and I'm wondering if they are just Paul Locks with a new name (a la Axis Locks). Anyone know? Do you know, KnifeCenter?

[@ben9and1-3rd]

I've had a Gerber Paul 2P for a very long time and was kinda wondering the same. 👍🍻

[@JosephOlson-ui2pg]

Interesting thread to have picked up!

[@knifecenter]

They are functionally different than Paul Locks. On a Paul, you have to depress the pivot/button to open the blade. These operate more like a typical button lock that just happens to share space with the pivot. -DCA

[@theoneandonlysoslappy]

@@knifecenter Thanks, David!

[@Az-88706]

Best knife for scout/ appendix carry on the belt ? Comments help me out nothing too big but good enough for a solid grip

[@TheHatefulHulk]

Welcome back, Thomas!

[@joeyho5134]

Welcome back, Thomas. 👍
